Heinz Kilfitt was a prolific designer of cameras, but his firm Heinz Kilfitt München is primarily known for its innovative series of macro, telephoto, and zoom lenses from the 1950s and 1960s. Kilfitt was contracted to manufacture the groundbreaking 1960 Zoomar 36-82mm lens for Voigtländer. Later, with the 1967 retirement of Heinz Kilfitt, Zoomar designer Dr. Frank G. Back acquired the Kilfitt company and continued its products from Zoomar's home in Long Island, New York.
